OUR WINE GOING INTO AUCKLAND'S TOP CAFE

Late Nov. is late spring here and things are growing like crazy. I took a shot or our garden this AM and you can see the growth since 3 weeks ago. In the far top left bed you can see we have LOTS of lettuce.
The other shot is a close up of our avocados. We sell avos from our roadside starting in Dec until March (if we don't sell out sooner). Last year we had about 5 tons total but our "warehouse" (fruit hanging on the trees) is not so full this year. Avos in the local stores are selling for a dollar each now and we will undercut everyone and sell for a bag of 4 for 3 dollars when we start next week. We do well with our honesty stall sales as all kiwis put their money for our little bags of fruit.

BIG NEWS HERE FOR US

Wine wise, we have just released our 06 wine here locally and have it in 4 new cafes in our area. The number two restaurant in all NZ is in Auckland and called the French Cafe. We have eaten there several times over the years and become friends with the owners. I finally offered them a taste of our mature 05 Orchard Block wine and they really liked it. SOOOOO, I am honored to be able to say that Hawks Nest wine will be on the menu at Auckland's top fine dining establishment this coming NZ summer. We are like proud parents needless to say.

MORE SOON;
